Nochebuena: The Impossibles

This photo is from a series of photos I've been working on while out skateboarding at dusk (Yeah, I bought a new skateboard a couple months back and am slowly getting myself back up to speed. It's funny - I'll roll up at a skate spot and there will be all these young kids there, doing these rail tricks and insane impossibles - and they're all "What's up, Old School?") And this is totally unrelated - except that this photo somehow reminds me of it - but if you've never heard Keith Richards sing the 1938 jazz standard "The Nearness Of You" (the A Stone Alone bootleg version), I urge you to give yourself that gift today. It's just Richards and his piano. "Plaintive" is the word that comes to mind.
